Hi Randall

got over that hump, now that the frame rate works I'm determined to
make the mpg encoding work. The video part works great, however the
audio part is still giving trouble. If I try encoding in mp3, the
following happens (on the console with -debug subproc) :

::EXEC:: mplex test.mpg test.mp3 test.mps

Command Failed:
  mplex test.mpg test.mp3 test.mps
Conversion Aborted.

What strikes me as odd is that 24.000 frames/sec -- I set it to 10
frames/sec in the dialog. 
If I do encoding with mp2, the conversion finishes ok, but playing with
mtv or a ~doze player displays the video correctly, but the sound is
just a short *blop. 
When doing just audio recording, both mp2 and mp3 are ok, this makes
me think that the problem lies somewhere in mplex. I went thru the
(somewhat sparse) documentation of mplex, couldn't find anything
useful.... 

any idea ??

Thanks for all the help so far, hope I didn't hit the annoyance
threshold yet --
